In this article I wish to give real working examples of Oracle's FNDLOAD utility.Besides that, I have included some useful notes on FNDLOAD utility

I have used FNDLOAD successfully in past for several different entities/data types within Oracle 11i for almost all my previous clients, ever since this utility became available. Some of the examples in this FNDLOAD article include:- FNDLOAD to transfer Request Groups FNDLOAD for moving Concurrent Programs FNDLOAD to download and upload Forms Personalizations ( or Personalisations depending on where you are located )

Use FNDLOAD for transferring value set definitions. -->Please note that when transferring Key Flex Fields and Descriptive flex fields the respective value sets against each segment will be extracted and loaded automatically.

Also, FNDLOAD can be used to migrate Key FlexFields, Descriptive Flexfields, Responsibilities and almost every other FND entity.

Please note that the text written down here could get wrapped in the browser. Hence you may have to use \ to continue the single line command on Unix, in case you find the lines wrapping In my case I am ensuring that $CLIENT_APPS_PWD has the apps password before running the scripts

##To FNDLOAD Request groups FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcpreqg.lct XX_MY_REPORT_GROUP_NAME.ldt REQUEST_GROUP REQUEST_GROUP_NAME="XX_MY_REPORT_GROUP_NAME" APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME="XXGMS" ##Note that ##--------- ## <> will be your Application Shortname where request group is registered ## XX_MY_REPORT_GROUP_NAME Will be the name of your request group ## ##To upload this Request Group in other environment after having transferred the ldt file

##To FNDLOAD Oracle Menus $FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD O Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afsload.lct ICX_POR_SSP_HOME.ldt MENU MENU_NAME="ICX_POR_SSP_HOME" ##Note that ##--------- ## Oracle Menus are not attached to applications. Hence no need to include application short name ## ICX_POR_SSP_HOME is the menu name. This can be validated via below SQL ## select user_menu_name from fnd_menus_vl where menu_name = 'ICX_POR_SSP_HOME' ; ## Also note that we do not pass in the User_menu_name in this example ## OK, now to upload this file $FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD O Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afsload.lct ICX_POR_SSP_HOME.ldt

## Or you may as well download all the messages within an application FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afmdmsg.lct \ XX_ALL_GMS_MESSAGES_00.ldt FND_NEW_MESSAGES APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME='XXGMS'

## Now it's the turn of Lookup values. Again, its not a rocket science FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD aflvmlu.lct XX_TRX_BATCH_STATUS.ldt FND_LOOKUP_TYPE APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME ='XXGMS' LOOKUP_TYPE="XX_TRX_BATCH_STATUS" ## Note that ## XX_TRX_BATCH_STATUS is the name of FND Lookup Type in this example ## This will download all the lookup codes within the defined lookup ## To upload FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y UPLOAD aflvmlu.lct XX_TRX_BATCH_STATUS.ldt

## You can also move the User definitions from FND_USER FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct ./XX_FND_USER_PASSI.ldt FND_USER USER_NAME='ANILPASSI'#Do not worry about your password being extracted, it will be encrypted as below in ldt file#BEGIN FND_USER "ANILPASSI"# OWNER = "PASSIA"# LAST_UPDATE_DATE = "2005/10/19"# ENCRYPTED_USER_PASSWORD = "ZGE45A8A9BE5CF4339596C625B99CAEDF136C34FEA244DC7A"# SESSION_NUMBER = "0"To upload the FND_USER using FNDLOAD command use FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afscursp.lct ./XX_FND_USER_PASSI.ldt Notes for using FNDLOAD against FND_USER:-1. After uploading using FNDLOAD, user will be promoted to change their password again during their next signon attempt.2. All the responsibilities will be extracted by FNDLOAD alongwith User Definition in FND_USER 3. In the Target Environment , make sure that you have done FNDLOAD for new responsibilities prior to running FNDLOAD on users.

## Now for the request sets that contain the stages and links for underlying concurrent programs ## For this you will be firstly required to download the request set definition. ## Next you will be required to download the Sets Linkage definition ## Well, lets be clear here, the above sequence is more important while uploading FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcprset.lct XX_GL_MY_INTERFACE_SET.ldt REQ_SET REQUEST_SET_NAME="FNDRSSUB4610101_Will_look_like_this" FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y DOWNLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcprset.lct XX_GL_MY_INTERFACE_SET_LINK.ldt REQ_SET_LINKS REQUEST_SET_NAME="FNDRSSUB4610101_Will_look_like_this" ## Note that FNDRSSUB4610101 can be found by doing an examine on the ########----->select request_set_name from fnd_request_sets_vl ########----->where user_request_set_name = 'User visible name for the request set here' ## Now for uploading the request set, execute the below commands FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcprset.lct XX_GL_MY_INTERFACE_SET.ldt FNDLOAD apps/$CLIENT_APPS_PWD 0 Y UPLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afcprset.lct XX_GL_MY_INTERFACE_SET_LINK.ldt

Notes :1. Give special attention when downloading Menus or Responsibilities. In case your client has several developers modifying Responsibilities and Menus, then be ultra carefull. Not being carefull will mean that untested Forms and Functions will become available in your clients Production environment besides your tested forms, functions and menus.

2. Be very careful when downloading flexfields that reference value sets with independent values for GL Segment Codes. By doing so, you will download and extract all the test data in GL Codes that might not be applicable for production.

3. There are several variations possible for FNDLOAD, for example you can restrict the download and uploads to specific segments within Descriptive Flex Fields. Please amend the above examples as desired for applying appropriate filterations.

4. The list of examples by no mean cover all possible FNDLOAD entities.

5. FNDLOAD is very reliable and stable, if used properly. This happens to by one of my favourite Oracle utilities.

4. Last but not the least, please test your FNDLOAD properly, so as to ensure that you do not get any unexpected data. In past I have noticed undesired results when the Lookup gets modified manually directly on production, and then the FNDLOAD is run for similar changes. If possible, try to follow a good practice of modifying FNDLOADable data only by FNDLOAD on production environment.

5. As the name suggests, FNDLOAD is useful for FND Related objects. However in any implementation, you will be required to migrate the Setups in Financials and Oracle HRMS from one environment to another. For this you can use iSetup. "Oracle iSetup".Some of the things that can be migrated using Oracle iSetup areGL Set of Books, HR Organization Structures, HRMS Employees, Profile Options Setup, Suppliers, Customers, Tax Codes & Tax Rates, Financials Setup, Accounting Calendars, Chart of Accounts, GL Currencies.

Hi Anil, I tried the command again. I was missing single quotes around APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME and hence was giving me an error. Now it worked fine.

One question. When I uploaded the DFF, Created By: Creation Date Updated By: Update Date:

same as Updated By: Update Date: from the instance from which i downloaded the information.

Is there a way to show the sysdate as creation date ?

1nd Question, I could not find a script above for migrating value sets with the data for them as well. Can you add a script for this.

Thanks for the wonderful scripts.

Vishal.

...written by Anil Passi , December 09, 2006

Hi Vishal

The dates or rather the entire RowWho information will be passed in fromm Source System, i.e. whatever is in the ldt file.

Open the lct file by doing vi $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/afffload.lct

search for string fnd_flex_loader_apis.up_desc_flex

In the parameter last_update_date you can pass sysdate, replacing the value read from ldt file Please note this is customization and is not supportable The reason value sets were not included is because they always get downloaded or uploaded along with Flexfield Segments or Conc Program Parameters. But anyway, please find the script for FNDLOAD of value set

The most likely cause of ORA-01403 during FNDLOAD is that Custom Application defined in your dev environment does not exist on other environment.

Hi Minal, I am sorry for the late response to your urgent query, I had a busy day at work today.

For your concurrent program, the parameters must be downloaded by default. Please email me the lct file you are using. Has anyone modified the afcpprog.lct in your environment? Check if its version differs from other environment. Or email me your lct

Which application did you attach this Request Set to? It is possible that the Request Group against all those responsibilities includes the Application which is attached to your Request Set.

Thanks, Anil Passi

Hi, We have customized dashboard functionality in telesales. We have to move it into other instances. can you let me know how to do the download for profile check variables, profile checks, drilldown for profile checks using FNDLOAD. The lct file used is cscprfbk.lct and cscprfck.lct

...written by Anil Passi , January 20, 2007

Hi Ruma,

I need to know the APPLICATION to which this request set is attached?

Not the responsibility.

Query the Request Set from Request set definition screen and see which application is that attached to.

I think the APPLICATION associated with your request set is included in most of your request groups.

If so is not the case, then you need to raise Tar. Although, I very much doubt this being a bug.

Thanks, Anil

Hi Siddh

I think you need to open the lct file , and see the key parameters in DOWNLOAD section

Also see the UPLOAD section of lct, as that will have the API calls,with parameters mapped to ldt values. This will give you the idea of the attributes that can be migrated.

Hi Anil, I have created one Oracle Alert in one environment and trying to migrate it to another environment. The original alert action details text has some formatting which is getting lost during upload. Can you suggest me how to maintain this text formatting?

...written by Anil Passi , January 31, 2007

. . . Hi Nilesh,

Interesting, I never moved alerts using fndload. But anyway, are you transferring the files in ascii mode?

thanks anil

...written by Anil Passi , February 01, 2007

. . . Hi Alexander,

You need to do two things. 1. check if your ldt file has required information, to ensure download worked successfully. You must be able to locate each and every segment in the ldt file. 2. If your ldt file is OK, then check to see the log file that was created during upload. Are there any error messages in the log file?

Thanks, Anil Passi

Hi Anil,

My requirement is to download the part of the menu not whole menu. Is there any option we can set while downloading menu to down load based on sequence no or function name or by prompt name.

From metalink I found following example

CUSTOM_MODE=FORCE will upload any new items in the file that do not currently exist in the database UPLOAD_MODE=REPLACE will replace any current values with the values in the file

Please update this article by including examples of using Isetup for transferrring setup data. Pl give how to access this responsibility and are there any profiles to be taken care of

...written by Anil Passi , February 02, 2007

Hi Rajitha

I have never tried doing this on a specific Function for Menus.

You can either restrict the fndload to a sub menu OR if you know precisely what menu entries you want, then simply edit the ldt file and remove the unwanted entries.

**Pls test this on other instance, I think it should work, because I can see that lct file is calling fnd_menu_entries_pkg.LOAD_ROW for the Menus available in ldt file

Thanks, Anil Passi

...written by Anil Passi , February 02, 2007

Hi Chandra

I am yet to use iSetup myself, as I think it does not cover every possible setup. Also, it appears to be based on linking different environments which involves admni activity, which I find to be a turn-off of getting this agreed with management

any wonder why not many people use iSetup?

...written by Anil Passi , February 05, 2007

Excellent stuff Alexander.

...written by Anil Passi , February 13, 2007

Hi BSR

Each data type like value set , flex value etc have a internal id generated by the sequence.

If you do export and import, the value of the sequence used to generate unique key may differ in the two environments. This can cause overlap and conflicts

Hence, use FNDLOAD, because FNDLOAD uses respective APIs

thanks, anil

...written by Anil Passi , March 12, 2007

Hi Frank,

Please check the width of the columns mentioned in lct file. Possibly one of the column have less number of VARCHAR2(lenngth) than the corresponding length in the fnd_lookup_values

Hi Anil, Journal import, when run for the first time, takes a lot of time to complete since it tries to create code combiantions for the first time.

Is there an Oracle API/Script which can be used to pre-create code combinations (Like we have Generate Accounts program in FA) and which also takes care of cross-validation rules.

Thanks.

...written by Florin , March 30, 2007

hello Anil,

i guess you have to run the fndload commands using the applmgr user on the machine holding the database for oracle apps. is there a way to run this fndload command using another user ?

thanks

...written by Anil Passi , March 31, 2007

I think this should work, so long as fndload has execute permission for your login, and also your login has apps environment variables set, then it should work

FORM ------- FORM_APP_SHORT_NAME FORM_NAME

FUNCTION ----------- FUNC_APP_SHORT_NAME FUNCTION_NAME

Hi Anil, When we importing the journals in GL module we need to insert the one row into GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL for each group_id.Now my question is what is the use of inserting the data into GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL table and if I not inserted into GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL what will happen?

In case you are submitting GL Import from screen, then the screen will do the insert into gl_interface_control.

Another purpose of this table is in case you wish to use a custom or some other table for GL Import, instead of gl_interface. One such example is that project accounting uses PA_GL_INTERFACE. Hence in this case, GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL.INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME will have a value of PA_GL_INTERFACE

If you leave GL_INTERFACE_CONTROL.INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME as null, then gl_interface will become the source for importing the journals

XML Publisher stores the metadata and physical files for templates and data definitions in BLOB columns in its schema. XML Publisher allows you to use FNDLOAD in conjunction with XDOLoader to allow you to move the metadata and physical files for your templates and data definitions from one instance to another.

FNDLOAD can --------- Upload and download the data definition information and the template metadata

XDOLoader can ------------- Upload and download the physical files like (RTF, PDF, XSL-FO, XML, and XSD)

Transfer all FND objects from one insantance to another in one shotwritten by vinayaksawal , October 23, 2007

Hi Anil,

First of all we appreciate your dedication towards the APPS community. i am strong follower of your portal I have one question My question may be bit wierd for you.

I need to move all the FND objects from one instance to another in one shot is it possible? and also to that i need whichever are present on the destination sever should not get overlapped.?

Take a copy of each lct file and rename those as xx. In the upload section, you will find the API calls or update statements. You can modify that section to include an IF statement before each API Call. This IF Statement will check the existence of the object in destination instance prior to APIs being invoked.

Next use these xx...lct files to upload.

I can't see any existing parameter in FNDLOAD controller files, to meet your requirements out of the box.

Do proper testing too. Thanks, Anil Passi

FNDLOADed the Menus and Responsibilitieswritten by Sanjib Kundu , November 14, 2007

Hello Anil,

I find your site very useful. Really worth going thru all the blogs and articles.

My question to you is: We have implemented 11.5.10.2. In one of our Development instances ( clone of Production instance) we have created several Menu's and Responsibilities. While creating the Menu's we have given 10, 20 , 30 , 40 ... and so on ... as the Sequence Number in the Define Menu's form. When we have FNDLOAD the same Menu's in the production instance the Sequence Number changed from 10, 20, 30 , 40 ..... to 1,2,3,4.

Hi Anil, Following are my questions.Hope I get answers: 1. When a concurrent program is downloaded, is EXECUTABLE not required to be downloaded too? or it is created automatically or manually has to be created?? 2. Can FNDLOAD delete program once created (but not yet run)??

I am using FNDLOAD utility to migrate the req sets from one instance to another. But the req sets are not being updated, after the first time. I mean if i make any changes to req set in dev, then download the req set using FNDLOAD and migrate the same to UAT and upload it. The new changes are not reflected. Am i missing any steps here!! please help. I am also trying by using FORCE for uploading.
